Hello,

A question regarding capitalisation of placeholder text.  
I have a compile format for chapter headings that includes  
Chapter \<$t:chapter\>

Which renders as:  
Chapter **O** ne  
What I am trying to get is  
Chapter **o** ne  
(bold format just for clarity here)

Is there a way to force the placeholder text to render as all small caps?  
Thanks

welcome am adding some working section layouts settings, compile format designs to a page on Scrivener. Compiling is the hardest thing to get a hang of. Like calculus in HS all a mess till it clicks.

Note that there’s a complete list of placeholders, including information about capitalization, on the Help menu.
